The worst are full of bullshit intensity. How long can this go on?
Yep, this behaviour was there right at the start of the second presidency. God knows it was bad enough during the first.
On faut cultiver le jardin. And get out into nature while it's still there.
Sheesh, this awful creep back again. All the worst losers emboldened to make ludicrous 'world champions' statements.
Odd place to hyphenate, though - ideally, it would be 'Philo-sophy'.
This 'broke' some time ago. So what next? Deafening silence?
Twazzer celeb sounding off on something he neither knows nor cares about. Almost as pointless highlighting as Jessie Buckley's 'I don't hate cats but I don't like them pooping on pillows' remark (I agree with her, I say meh to him). www.rte.ie/entertainmen...
Courageous young people.
It's not worse, it's just more of the same.
Unfortunately Xitter is also vampire central - not good for anyone decent to be on there. No excuses!
And the picture is both insulting and dreaful - looks nothing like Zack Polanski.
Howth Harbour and Ireland's Eye, 6 March.
4/ Back at the start of the walk - Howth Harbour with Ireland's Eye behind.
An absolute stunner. Sarah Richmond. no less poised an artist, sang her heart out as Massenet's Charlotte. Big emotions, too, from her Purcell Dido as well as Davis's JenΕ―fa, Arabella and Elisabeth. Dramatic support from pianist Aoife O'Sullivan. Writing it up for @theartsdesk.bsky.social tomorrow.
Curiously, though, he's a Cherokee, isn't he?
Doesn't seem to stop most of them. I'm wondering how long Klaus MΓ€kelΓ€ can keep it up for. Robin Ticciati learnt his lesson and is mostly settled in Sussex with wife and child, devoting serious time to Glyndebourne.
Alas, Reform would undo it in the UK, and Labour's Wes Streeting has forged some unholy alliances as Health Minister.
Answer: $$$. One of the greediest people on the planet.
Not Karachi, subtitles please note.
Even if Noem's gone, that makes three people I can't bear to listen to on the news: President Pizda, 'Bomb, baby, bomb' Hegseth and Kommandant Miller.
The photo alone is enough to prove that Blair is a determined war criminal. Never thought I'd come to hate him so much. news.sky.com/story/foreig...
Tony Blair didn't do any of the first three, but now he's joined the worst. What happened?
Grifters, racists, conpeople, every one of them.
In Merrion Square, Dublin, 6 March.

All that drone likes is ££££.
Can't watch him spouting his shit for a second.
Blossom on south side of Merrion Square, Dublin, 6 March,

Just gobsmacking from the man who started out as a decent PM, led us into an unjustified war and became a petty grifter at the court of President Pizda. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
Bloody hell. The first-time good PM who became a grifter without shame and betrayed the country over war in the first place....where is this?
Looking forward to celebrating International Women's Day with Jennifer Davis (currently rehearsing Rusalka at @irishnationalopera.bsky.social). She visited our TannhΓ€user Zoom course while singing Elisabeth in Geneva. Such a role model: taking family with her when she travels, limiting engagements.
